Giroud then sent the previously despondent Arsenal fans wild when he headed the victor from a corner, Leicester keeper Kasper Schmeichel only managing to turn the ball onto the underside of the bar before it bounced over the line.

"Giroud? He's fantastic", Wenger said of the France global, who usually started on the bench last season and had been linked with a move away from The Emirates.

"We have got a tough first run but we now can take a lot of confidence from this game, knowing we can go to the big teams and put on a performance and hopefully in the coming games we get that bit of luck and turn the positive performance into good points". "We've been courageous to the end and thank God we won the game". "He's a fantastic guy as well, committed and loves the club".

"I'm happy the goals we conceded we can work on together".

Arsenal's defending was shaky throughout as Wenger's back three left goalkeeper Petr Cech exposed time and again. "There were hard moments when we were down and we managed to get out of that and it's great to see".
